4 Against thee, thee only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, that thou may be justified when thou speak, and may prevail (LXX/NT) when thou are criticized (LXX/NT).

5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.

6 Behold, thou desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part thou will make me to know wisdom.

7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou have broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
